Hi,
I don't see a way of doing it unless we write a tool like windiff to do
that for a list of files.
How to determine which versions of each file element to be compared -
using a label?.
How often you do this and how many files normally in on comparison?
If it is not too often and not on too many files......
One messy way you can do this would be (using a script) by copying the
particular version of all the files to be compared onto one temp
directory in local drive (say temp_1) and then copy the other set of
versions on to a different directory (say temp_2). And then you fire off
a windiff (inside the script) on these directories. Since you can do
the copy of different versions of an element from the same view.. you
can fire off the script from the view root.
Sounds messy/ugly??
